Popcorn: The Self-Destruction of “The Democracy,” as Seen in California

Until the American Civil War, the political party of
slavery, secession, segregation, and now socialism, referred to itself as “The
Democracy.” After the slow burning of DNC leaks, Crooked Hillary’s corruption, the
dripping frauds of the DNC elections, and recently the chaos of the now-concluded
California Democratic Party convention, it’s clear that there is nothing
democratic about the Democratic Party.

I commiserate with my California liberal, progressive, Democratic
friends. They really believe that that more government, more socialism is the
answer to our nation’s ills—but at least they believe in a fair, just process. But
fairness and big government don’t go hand in hand. Communism is fundamentally
unfair, taking from those who have and giving to those who don’t. Besides, the world
has its problems, and solutions to the world’s ills cannot be solved with
government-backed solutions. Trade-offs are the calling of the day. This is a
fallen earth, and people are fleshy, power-driven, out for themselves. And that
same drive for power means “Lie, cheat, and steal to win.” That only foretells
Communism’s doom.

The progressives in our midst, 60% of whom were California
Democratic Party delegates, still believe that people are basically good and
more government will fix the world. After three days of listening to out-going Chairman
John Burton—lots of profanity, punctuated with gesticulating middle fingers—it
should be crystal clear that human beings, whatever their political
affiliations, are flawed.

The first day of the California Democratic Party convention exposed
the dissension in their ranks. Besides Chairman Burton’s curse-laden rants, the
general order was disorder and heckling. Left-wing nurse associations agitated
repeatedly for single-payer healthcare. When Democratic National Committee
Chairman Tom Perez spoke to the Friday crowds, he got boos and heckling in
double doses. The new DNC Chairman cheated for his seat, just as Crooked
Hillary cheated for the nomination.

The California Democratic Party faithful have been berned,
er … burned so badly, they were not interested in playing establishment games
with Swamp Thing Clinton and Barack Obama. Of course, who was the alternative? Left-wing
Muslim Keith Ellison, Congressman from Minnesota. This man had ties to the
CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, and embraced the most radical of backgrounds and undergrounds—many
of whom want to take down the United State of America. The future of the
Democratic Party is communistic, Islamist, anti-American, and anti-Western:
Cultural Marxism with an American flag hijab.

Now here’s the good news for Republicans and for our
country. Based on the chaotic three days of the California Democratic Party
convention, the same principles which Reagan expounded on in 1983 still hold
true today. The desire for liberty is too strong in men, and their demand for
justice will never pass away. There is something in human nature, that even as
they pursue the expansion of the state into our daily lives, they want the
rollout—and thus the rolling away of their own natural rights—to be done their
way.

Self-interest, natural law, the Invisible Hand, all of these
features of economics and political design will undermine every push for Communism
in any form. Indeed, the California Democratic Party is a microcosm of these
cultural truth—and spell the national party’s devastation. Nationally, “The
Democracy” has dissolved into conflicts over class or race. “Intersectionality”
is the latest craze. The left-wing “factivists” are determined at all costs to
ensure the hierarchy of victimization is protected from all attacks, foreign or
domestic. All of you half-African, half-Asian elderly lesbians in wheelchairs
now hold the cards in this political universe.

Funny thing is, though, that elections depend on votes.
Today, most of the nation’s voters are working people, many of them of European
background, but share the same concerns about safety, security, traditional
values, and economic opportunity as all ethnic minorities. We are all
Americans, right?

The end for the future of the Democratic Party has been laid
bare to us in California. Corruption has been the norm. Everyone wins by
kowtowing to the special interests. Chairman-elect Bauman certainly did. Mr.
Big Pharma hustled to ensure that Prop. 61 for “fair pricing for drugs” failed
miserably. Six months later, Bossman Eric sent out last-minute eblasts to
ensure delegates that he is Gung-Ho for single-payer health care. FYI: Dianne
Feinstein opposes it. So does State Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (or at
least he talks that way). No one cares about white people, and the “white”
president is routinely pilloried. The left-wing Berniecrats don’t trust Bauman
to fight for the Bernie Revolution, since he was a vocal cheerleader for
Crooked Hillary. In came Bernie-endorsed Kimberly Ellis, a vocal progressive
with a hint of honesty.

Saturday evening, nearly 3,000 delegates voted with
enthusiasm and anxiety. The final tally? Bossman Eric won by 60 votes. Just
sixty. One has to wonder if they would have started flipping coins to ensure
which way ballots would go—just like in Iowa. The media went nuts up and down
the state. Bernie delegates were outraged again. First Hillary steals the
Presidential nomination. Then Perez steals the DNC chairmanship. Now Mr. Anti-natural
law, pro-crony Bauman steals the California Democratic Party chairmanship. Delegates
demanded a recount. Kimberly Ellis threatened to sue. Nothing in the formal
by-laws provides the process for a recount (I wonder why?) Then delegates
started demanding Voter ID to ensure no ballot-staffing—and a recount!

Remember what I said about human nature? Right?! On Sunday,
Ellis backed down, and Bauman took the gavel, but the Bernie Delegates aren’t
backing down. They fled the convention floor and hosted their own meeting nearby.
Communists fight for their way of tyrannizing the world, after all.

What do you know? The drive for the Communistic Democracy is
hitting more snags. Progressive activists are abandoning “The Democracy”. The
California Democratic Party’s crack-up is good for Republicans, with a promising
California Comeback on the way. Could they become Republicans? They want what the GOP has worked for: good
government, proper public service, an end to corruption, and expanding
opportunity for individual voters and small businesses.
